Geometry Seminar
Hirzebruch surfaces in a one-parameter family
Speaker: Fiammetta Battaglia (Università degli studi di Firenze)Date: Friday, 24 June 2022 - 11:30Place: Aula Naranja, ICMAT
Abstract:
In the framework of complex and symplectic toric geometry, we introduce a family of spaces, parametrized by positive real numbers, that includes all of the Hirzebruch surfaces. Each space is viewed from two distinct perspectives. First, as a leaf space of a compact, complex, foliated manifold. Second, as a symplectic cut of the manifold \({\mathbb C}\times S^2\) in a possibly nonrational direction.
This is joint work with Elisa Prato and Dan Zaffran.
